People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doingWell they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruinWhen I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strangeSurely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life awayWell they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten meWhen I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wallDon't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and roundI really love to watch them rollNo longer riding on the merry-go-roundI just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusionWell I tell them there's no problem, only solutionsWell they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mindI tell them there's no hurry

I'm just sitting here doing time I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and roundI really love to watch them rollNo longer riding on the merry-go-round
